For some reason, Republicans seem to have a hard time getting their message out to anybody other than old white guys. Maybe that 'social media' stuff will help:

Steve Kush, the chairman of the Bernalillo County Republican Party, attended the meeting after Republican Commissioner Wayne Johnson issued an “urgent” call for opponents of the proposal to increase the county’s minimum wage to attend. In a Facebook post from the meeting, Kush described a 19-year old volunteer member of Working America as a “radical bitch.”

Then there is the former Paul Ryan intern Adam Savader, who was an up and coming GOP operative.

Gawker and a number of other national websites reported that the 21-year-old was charged with “Internet extortion” and “cyber-stalking” for allegedly breaking into online accounts of 15 women, obtaining nude photos of them, and then threatening to distribute the pictures if they did not send him more.

The Republicans have one singular purpose now: voting against 'obamacare'. Its sort of like visiting Mecca - everyone has to do it once in their lifetime.

"If you're a freshman - the guys who've been up here the last year, we can go home and say listen, we voted 36 different times to repeal or replace Obamacare. Tell me what the new guys are supposed to say," he said. "We haven't had a repeal or replace vote this year."

And thus do we learn, again, that the modern Republican party -- and the exotic brand of conservative nihilism that remains its primary political energy -- is little more than a cult, with rituals that must be performed, and sacred conjuring words that must be chanted.
